Trapped
2200 AD The Universe Existing in a Bottle
A boundary to the universe
A limit to the significance of man
Trapped
Part IV of VII
With the realization of the universe having a boundary, a limit, we sense our true insignificance to God and desperately grasp the historically battered concept that we are a servant of God and, as such, must spread God’s message throughout the universe. We accept that we are meant to act as a messenger of God and are meant to bring all life forms throughout the universe to their knees in praise of God the Almighty. All resources, all energy, must be poured into today in order to speed up the process of proselytizing, spreading the word, for unbelievers will surely suffer the consequence of hell and we will be responsible and as such, will also suffer.
The environment begins to feel the onslaught of the desperation of our intensity as it succumbs to the needs of our ambition to spread the knowledge of God’s purpose for life, God’s desire to be glorified. With the discovery of a boundary to our universe, we finally understand our purpose. And as our nature dictates, reinforced with an indisputable understanding of purpose, we begin to change gears, moving our economy into a war mode.
Space weapons and space fleets are begun in earnest. Space colonies spring up on the moon as rapidly as the architectural plans can be drawn. Mining of Mars and asteroids moves into full swing as the huge new mega-factories on earth pump out space materials.
